Yesterday the amplifier that drives my subwoofer died. This is one of five amplfiers in the system (see attachment on linked post). I have temporarily re-routed signal paths to use one of the other amps to drive the subwoofer, but the system is now somewhat crippled.

I have nobody to blame but myself for this... cleaning fluid from a carpet shampooer I hauled in the back of the car leaked through the floor and onto the amp. I pulled the amp, disassembled and cleaned it, and air-dried it overnight, and it worked for several months afterwards, but yesterday it died.

The problem is... it is a discontinued model, sold only for a brief time, and any larger (physical size) amp just isn't going to fit. Also, due to lack of ventilation, it must be a class-T amplifier. I need to find an exact replacement.

If anybody can point me to where I can buy one of these, new or used, I would appreciate it very much. Note that the model number is Blaupunkt PA2100. There is a PCA2100 available, but it is a larger, Class A/B amplifier, not useful to me in this situation.

There is ONE electronics repair shop in all of interior Alaska... I will take the amplifier to him this evening and see if it can be repaired, knowing the cost of the repair will be more than I paid for the amplifier when I bought it new. I'd like to have other options available.

The PA2150 looks very similar and there's one on eBay right now. The PA2100 looks to show up fairly often -- the PA4100, too. There's one person, da_pilgrim, who's bought a bunch of them over the last few months. Maybe you could contact him.

Sorry. I think eBay actually modified my search and I failed to notice the warning.

Choose Advanced Search, enter your desired search terms and check "Completed items only".

That's how had I looked for it, and not a single Blaupunkt PA2100 shows up in whatever date-range ebay retains for completed items. There were a pair of Harmon Kardan PA2100 amps, but those are not at all the same thing.

I'm going to ask Stu at Eutronics if he'd like to have a go at fixing mine...

Sometimes if you enter something in an eBay search, it'll say something to the effect of "I wasn't able to find anything called "PA2100", but I did find some things called "PA4100". Here they are". I don't remember what I searched on now, but I think that's what it did to me.

Anyway, you're right. There are none, and, regardless of how it happened, I gave you incorrect information.
